Answer

200ml of 60% solution and 100ml of 30% solution

Work Step by Step

x will be the amount of 60% solution and we want to obtain 300ml of 50% solution amount of 60% sol. +amount of 30% sol.(300ml-x) = amount of 50% sol.(which is 300ml) 0.6(x)+0.3(300-x)=0.5(300) 0.6x+90-0.3x=150 0.3x=60 x=200 300-x=300-200=100 (for 30% sol.)
